The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced earlier this week that it finished phase one of its work in the Palisades and Eaton fire areas, clearing about 9,200 properties.
However, despite removing over 300 million tons of hazardous material, EPA deemed thousands of properties “too toxic” for clearing until phase two – which will be conducted by the Army Corps of Engineers.
Too toxic? What kind of bullshit is this? They're going to make it a Superfund site so they can milk it for more money for newscums slush fund.
ReplyDelete"We haven't found a way to steal your land yet, so we need more time."
ReplyDeleteNot surprising. Nearly every product purchased across the US comes with one of those special CA warnings about how it's filled with cancerous or otherwise dangerous agents. Nothing's safe enough for CA. The rest of the US soldiers on.
ReplyDeleteI always took it to mean it was only toxic in California, and by inference, only toxic to Californians, regardless of subsequent geographic location. Am I wrong?
DeleteWhat about us ex-Californians? I always replace the CARB gas nozzles off my new cans. I don't wanna die over something like that.
DeleteWe've gone through this nonsense several times. Anytime a hurricane hits the epa crap begins... We just ignore them and take care of what needs to be done.. Of course I don't live in a semi-cimmunist state

It's the same playback as Maui
ReplyDeleteYup. And just like Maui, it is off the news cycle, and nothing is being done by the displaced sheeple, normies, and cucks who have lost everything. Go figure.
DeleteIt's a logical call since all those tons of Cocaine going up in flames would lead to some residual toxicity.
ReplyDeleteFunny enough California has a law that if you don't rebuild within 6 months you have to go through a longer permitting process. The land these houses were on was earmarked for newsoms 10 minute city.
ReplyDeleteSo these people will never be allowed to rebuild and the state will buy it up cheap for his pet project/insanity.

DeleteAlso heard that if you take too long to rebuild your tax basis resets from the original date of development to a “new construction” basis, which is far higher.
ReplyDeleteTaxation is theft.
California taxation is extortionate theft.
All tax is extortion.
DeleteMost of those houses were old enough to have asbestos insulation.
ReplyDeleteSure kept those homes warm, eh?
Delete300 million tons of waste?
ReplyDeleteLet's say a truck carries 10 tons per load - that's 30 million truck trips from home sites to the disposal location.
If the disposal site is (on average) fifteen miles away - a thirty mile round trip - at an average speed of 30 miles per hour, that's a million working hours just in the driving. You need to add load and unload time.
If we say 1,000 trucks, and a 40 hour work week, that's 25 weeks non-stop just driving the trucks.
As in over SIX months.
I think someone is fudging the numbers.
The article didn't say what they're doing with all of this "toxic waste". In 25 years or so we'll be reading about the contaminated ground caused by the improper disposal of all of this "waste".
ReplyDeleteThen tere's the rumors that Nuisance has earmarked the entire Palisades community for high density low income housing for his beloved illegals and that former residents will be forced to sell their now vacant property via eminent domain. Couldn't have been the plan all along could it?
Nah, government would NEVER be that underhanded would it?

"Nah, government would NEVER be that underhanded would it?"
DeleteAsk the former homeowners in Maui.
Remember taxes are still due on the value of your home, don't pay your taxes, and it's not your home anymore.
ReplyDeleteI smell a land snatch coming, the commoners don't deserve to own homes there, that's too nice an area.
"...the commoners don't deserve to own homes there, that's too nice an area."
DeleteCouple-three years of "high density low income housing" will fix that "too nice" problem.
